Did you catch that last note? NOTE Cases
discovered by the Auxiliary are a particularly
sensitive section of the policy. How the
situation is dealt with is the end product of
sustained negotiations and compromise effort on
the part of all concerned parties. It intends
that the Auxiliarist, not the SMC, will make the
judgment as to whether the Auxiliarist can safely
assist. When the Auxiliarist notifies the SMC
that they intend to assist the vessel, its not
asking for permission. The Auxiliarist has
already determined that he/she can safely provide
assistance, and the notification to the SMC is a
courtesy. This policy does not reduce the
operational commanders authority and
responsibility to exercise command and control
over all assigned forces, including Auxiliary
vessels on ordered patrols. The operational
command may override the Auxiliarists decision
if warranted by an evaluation of the
circumstances. However unless there is a specific
reason to do so, such as an indication of unusual
risk or hazard, or an operational need to assign
the Auxiliary vessel to a higher priority
mission, the decision to assist should be left to
the Auxiliarist.
